This was a lively, informal party with food, drink, and diverse entertainment. In keeping with the host organisations’ general policies of social inclusiveness men were welcome.

Other performances included a Venezuelan dancer, the Sanchez family band, Kurdish singers and dancers, and Latin American folk songs by Mary Jane Field. The night ended with clearing away the chairs for a mass group circle dance.
